Not a Clash, We’re Like Family Says Ajay Devgan
During the much-anticipated trailer launch event, Ajay Devgn, the charismatic lead of the forthcoming biographical sports drama ‘Maidaan,’ eloquently addressed the prospect of a cinematic clash. In a display of tact and wisdom, Devgn remarked, “To label it a clash is a misnomer. If we use that term, I would prefer not to have two films sharing the same release window in an ideal scenario. Nevertheless, there exist certain obligations and commitments that necessitate simultaneous releases.”

Devgn’s nuanced response reflects a mature understanding of the industry dynamics, acknowledging the complexities that sometimes lead to concurrent releases.

Devgn continued, emphasizing the amicable nature of the situation, saying, “Both the films are of different genres. We all are like a family, we are friends. So, we are not looking at it in terms of a clash. We’re looking at it in the terms that there is a good big weekend. So both the films would perform well at the box office.”

With both films offering distinct genres. The clash is viewed more as a shared celebration of a big weekend at the box office rather than a competition.
